Gibbons12,

Can you run Network Interface and post that information back here?

Make and model of your printer and operating system(s)

What virus program(s) and firewall are you using?

Gibbons12,

Sam is correct, you'll need to uninstall, then restart the computer and install the printer like new.

Try reading...

Allow a printer past McAfee

The wireless network has to be WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security(Personal).

The printer will not connect on 5.0GHz. It will ONLY connect on 2.4GHz.

I am a Green Bay Packer fan so it's hard to take advice from a Cowboy fan.  Kidding!  I did reinstall the printer driver on each device thinking that would do it, no luck.

More then likely your ip address has changed and you will have reinstall the printer on each device.
